We are obviously saving the number 8 for Spertsyan, who will join us in January. 🤫

I wonder why Goztepe did not apparently want one of our strikers. Sinclair Armstrong does not seem to be very good; I am surprised Goztepe want him. But he has scored 11 goals in 11 games. We could have given them a genuine Tall Paul.

If a player wants a quicker trajectory than the downward slide Saints have endured in recent seasons that player needs to rethink his priorities, ffs.

Very good 👏 He did not; he knew he could not: he used the incoming tide to demonstrate that his powers were limited.

Matthew, who’s our fat drummer?

Having seen no evidence to corroborate the supposed rumour of DD to Bristol City, I believe the origin of the misunderstanding has come from someone noticing that Bristol Live summer transfer window live news updates included a report that a deal for Downs had been done, without also noticing that it was done by Saints; Bristol Live include news about other southern clubs, not merely City and Rovers. I cannot find any other reason for it.

Tall Paul scores again in a 1:0 win for Trab. And SAA provides an assist for Strasbourg’s first goal in a 3:2 defeat.

I prefer mine: Perhaps she remembers me.

Christ! Christ! Christ! 😉

Right, who shall we nominate to post or e-mail S-Clarke’s analysis to Dragan and the rest of the board? And Spors. I nominate MLG.

Do we know whether ours is on the profit? I, too, believe it usually is. I thought the guaranteed fee was £36m; and another £6m possible but not guaranteed. If the sell-on applies to the profit on the guaranteed fees only, the profit is £36m and we get 20% of that, your £6-7m. And the £6m and the £8m in my example do not get taken into account. But do we know or merely assume that is how it will work? Sorry to be a pain. I could say that I was asking for a friend who likes chewy sweets and apparently lives near the sea but he might not be interested in the answer.

Does anyone know exactly how our sell-on clause will work? Is it a %age on his future sale price or the profit from that price and what Everton paid? Are the adds-on taken into account? If so, how? What will we get if in future he gets sold for, say £72m plus an achievable £8m. (Assume we have already received the extra £6m from Everton.) The £8m will not have had a chance of being earned if we receive our sell-on at the point of Everton’s sale of him to another team. I genuinely do not know. Can anyone enlighten us, please? Thnx

Moussa Djenepo’s decline continues - he has just completed a free transfer from Standard Liege to Esteghlal, an Iranian team. Sad, really. I loved his attitude and occasional brilliance but we coached that out of him and he became Bambi on ice; at least the weather in Iran will melt the ice. Cue the modern version of the Egyptian Sand Dance (one for our older readers). https://getfootballnewsbene.com/former-southampton-winger-set-to-depart-standard-liege-for-the-second-time-with-iran-the-destination/

Just for interest, how much did we sell him for?

No thanks; he’s between 1” and 2” taller than Wellington and not even as tall as 5’9”. I know it does not matter so much for a winger but if we are to get another Brazilian I’d rather get one as tall as Guly. And one who contributes as much to our promotion as Guly did but Spors and Lederer should know more about him than I do; perhaps he will.

Wally Nutter. A perfect signing for a pantomime club. Oh no he isn’t. Oh yes he is.

Go back to your old dugout.
